I thought it would be fun to share my "flea market finds", with you. Another thought comes to mind.

What fun to share yours too!

Yesterday , Julie and I,(Julie, owner of a really cool shop a block up from Bittersweet, Aggieal'sAttic.) traveled to one of our favorite flea markets where we almost always find unique and special things.

By the way, I'm not the only one that experiences the heart rate rushes.... That's comforting....

As we entered the front door, we immediately start finding treasures.

Julie and I both collect vintage millinery flowers,(velvet or silk flowers that were once used in making woman's hats).Julie uses them for decorating her shop, placing the delicate petals on pictures and tucking them here and there. I like to sew them onto my totes and travel bags adding a bit of vintage appeal. I found the absolutely most fabulous buttons to incorporate into my flower pins. A glass jar filled with very old, some metal... I am so excited!

Oh, and a new find for my kitchen. I have very tall kitchen cabinets, you know the kind that you have to reach for a stepping stool to get to the top? I love this old stepping stool! It will be perfect for helping me reach those top kitchen cabinets....

Although I didn't take before pictures, let me fill you in on what was before. Imagine lots of cows and chickens on the walls....?? YUK. I was so tired of chickens and cows. I ripped that wallpaper off as quickly as you can say "Now you see it, now you don't".

This a picture of the new look. Trying to achieve a "French Bistro Look". Pale soft yellow on the walls, white lace curtains that drape to the floor, black and white toppers over the lace and red accents throughout. I covered the little lamp with the same black and white checked fabric and put little fringe around the bottom, ooh, la, la..........
